Why is the tacky magpie in me attracted to these Uggs?

Oh heavens, Anna, I dunno. I do love me some uggs as my indoor winter shoes, and it would be pretty fab to have shiny gold ones. But outside? I think only someone as bold as you are could carry these off!

Actually I was thinking for commuting shoes, make my bus ride more fun. But they'd probably look pretty ratty fast.

I came clean on this one a while ago. I do actually have and use a pair of UGGS for commuting in frigid conditions,when it is just cold. I think Angie forgave me.

I can totally see your logic.

Yes, I totally can see it too.

To your question, you really have a knack for making things that would otherwise be tacky..actually be very cool. You have that gift. I do think that they would get beat up fast. Maybe spray protectant would help. The truth is that where you live, with a lot of dampness, these would probably not do well.

The gold boots remind me of my former next door neighbour who is now part of a band The Bird and the Monkey. In her first music video she wore a similar pair with a gold catsuit whilst sitting in a bird cage, as you can probably imagine the image is hard to shake.

LOL. I think... I'm not quite sure... that I like the gold best.

I have to confess to Ugg house slippers - love them, the most comfortable and long-lasting slippers I've ever owned.

With these, I'd be worried about the white lining showing dirt and grime too quickly - just something to consider if you're thinking of winter commute boots.

I could see Space Shepherd as the new Space Cowboy. I think I'd like a gold shearling jacket better than shearling boots, but then with the right outfit I would not be surprised if I liked the boots, too.

I think you could pull these off.

There is a woman at church that wears a pair of silver sequined ones to church in the winter.

There's a little Vegas showgirl in all of us.

Uggs in general tend to look ratty fast in wet, inclement weather. I'm totally for adding some fun to your commute in bad weather, but perhaps something shiny and bright in a more weather-hardy material?
